It is as if your child cannot grow up without reading at least some books from this series and I believe it to be an integral part of his or her childhood. For those of you who don’t know about this series, Geronimo Stilton is an Italian children’s book series written by Elisabetta Dami. It is published by Edizioni Piemme of Milan, Italy, since 2000. Scholastic Corporation has published the English version of the series since February 2004.

Although the series credits its title character as the author, the idea was originally thought of by Elisabetta Dami. In older editions of the previous novels, the copyright was issued to a pseudonym “Geronimo Stilton” but this was changed on newer books. The series of these books are intended for young readers within the age group of six to twelve-year olds approximately. It is surely one of the best-selling book series ever written. Over 130 million copies of this book series have been sold worldwide.

In this series, the title character or the protagonist is a walking talking mouse who lives in New Mouse City on Mouse Island. A best-selling author, Geronimo Stilton works as a journalist and editor for the fictional newspaper The Rodent’s Gazette. Geronimo is a nervous, mild-mannered mouse who would like nothing better than to live a quiet life, almost introvertly. He has a younger sister named Thea Stilton, a cousin named Trap Stilton, and a favorite little nephew, nine-year-old Benjamin Stilton. He, against his wishes, keeps getting involved in far-away adventures with Thea, Trap, and Benjamin, and sometimes even Aunt Sweetfur. The books are written in the form of autobiographical novels, from Geronimo Stilton’s own point of view. The books have been adopted in the form of several other media such as theatres, musical theatres, TV series, video games and comic as well as graphic novels.
